I have a stock Samsung vibrant 2.2 all set up the way I like and just ordered a 32 gig card can I back up old card to new so I don't have to reinstall.

Thanks

Nothing???
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Senorkabob:
Not really quite sure what you're asking.....
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CrazyCharlie:
Yes you can move your data from the old card to the new as long as it's the same size or bigger.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CrazyCharlie:
I should also say that the removable sd card on a vibrant serves almost no purpose. It stores almost everything on it's internal memory.

[General Questions and Answers] taddy1449:
I'm new to this, and I know this was discussed plenty times here.

But I still didn't find the answer and maybe things "updated"/changed.

Im asking for phone Samsung GT-S5600 Preston that I have. It is TouchWiz based phone and...you can't get any of those cool applications that are available for Android. For example I want to get the MarketEnabler on it so I could get some apps( I really want Astro File Manager so I could install .apk files on my phone).

There are just java things working on it. And also android system is much better.

And Samsung has already some Android phones. So is there any way to port Android(2.1?) on it and replace it with TouchWiz?

Any help is appriciated.

Thanks in advance

hello,

i am happy with the android port for the TP2.

I am also waiting for the 100% of function version for leaving Windows mobile. And so ii tried differend versions on my TP2.

Do i need to build the data.img for every version new? Or are the new things with formaly building data.img even there?

thx

_cv
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android General] shatred:
everytime you update your android system files you dont need to update data.img no.

BUT

if you encounter problems when updated system files and you are still using an old data.img from an previous build then that's probably the reason.

my advice:

When using an entire new build or new system.ext2 then create an new data.img

But when you update to an new kernel then you dont need to create an new data.img

Hope this helped?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android General] Jandyman:
Also here's some advice if your new you mightnt know this, when you create a new data.img your apps and data and such will be lost. An app called titanium backup can backup and restore all your data fairly quickly! :)

Alternativly you could put all the apps you need in the androidApp folder on the first install (after first install rename the folder so it doesn't try to install on every boot, slowing down start-time) but some 3d apps won't work properly when installed from androidApps folder.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android General] saneksem:
You are right.You need new data.img by changing version,data.img is a system image
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android General] arrrghhh:
The system image is the system image (system.ext2).

The data.img is basically where all the user-customizations go. Installed apps, stuff on the homescreens etc.

You can try to keep your data.img, but if odd things start happening troubleshooting step #1 is a new data.img...

I messed up SD Card mounting on Megatron, so I flashed back to stock with KDZ. SD Card still doesn't mount, and isn't being recognized. The notification bar just says "SD Card removed. Insert new one." So...is it time to send this phone back for warranty?
[Optimus One, P500, V General] ciolnadu:
It's time to format your card using your card reader maybe it helps.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] TheSonicEmerald:
Did that. Unless there are specific settings to format with? If so, in Windows7, what allocation and stuff do i select?
[Optimus One, P500, V General] vault1965:
Default fat 32 should be just fine to begin with. If the card is still unrecognized, you should try with some cheap 2 Gb card and see if system recognize it...

I finally worked out the method of getting Freex10 2.2 onto my Xperia X10.

Only now it just reboots every 2 or so minutes. I'm guessing I installed Xrecovery to many times ( Beer causes that )( As well as frustration I guess )

[Kyocera Zio M6000] Sorry_8D:
Greetings!

I'm not sure if anyone will need this but I thought I'd write it up just in case.

I'm also not sure what I did but my phone was stuck in a boot loop. I tried reinstalling the 2.2 update but nothing.

I also tried resetting the phone here.

Then I reinstalled the 2.2 update and still got nothing.

This is what finally worked.

There are a few things you will need in order to complete this.

The USB cable.

The Android SDK here.

The 2.2 Update here.

DISCLAIMER: This update should only be used if you have Cricket wireless service.

Using this update otherwise will probably render your phone useless. I will update this thread when new updates become available for different carriers.

1. Put the phone in fast boot. (hold send while pressing power)

2. Open a command prompt on your PC.

3. cd to where fastboot.exe is installed. ex:

C:\Program Files\Android\android-sdk\tools

4. Type the following with a return at the end of each

fastboot erase system

fastboot erase boot

fastboot reboot

5. This should reboot your phone. Before it starts back up,

hold the up and down volume buttons. This will bring you into "modem download mode"

6. Start the 2.2 update and your back to functional after it reboots.

Note: You may lose everything on your phone, so back it up.

Great guide, although I posted this about 3 days ago in another thread... did you copy my guide and start a new thread for it?
[Kyocera Zio M6000] Sorry_8D:
Wow man no i didn't see your post. I even looked for info on this subject and found very little. I'm sorry.

Hellyeah, thanks for writing this guide fellas. This method will be really handy.
[Kyocera Zio M6000] Mattix724:
Thanks for linking to my post. Can we make this a sticky so others can find this since the OTA may have "broken" a few phones.
[Kyocera Zio M6000] xltrigger:
I know it broke mine. I'm trying to install ADK on a machine now so I can try this. Mine shows the Kyocera screen, then blank screen with nothing, then the keys light up and it sits like that for several minutes, then finally the Kyocera logo again.

I can get fast boot, by pressing Volume Up, Send, Trackball button, and End.
[Kyocera Zio M6000] Mattix724:
Down load sdk-manager from Google's Android Development site. Follow the instructions from this thread and you should be back in business. Once your phone boots up again after the update you just have skip Google sign in and dial *228 and you should have 3G service again. If you need more help read below.
[Kyocera Zio M6000] xltrigger:
I'm trying that now. Waiting for the update to download. I already installed the driver. Had to use Bootcamp on my MacBook Pro (ughhh). Didn't have to bother uninstalling drivers since none had ever been installed.

I've got it in modem download mode now. ::crosses fingers::

Thanks for you help I really, really appreciate it.
[Kyocera Zio M6000] xltrigger:
I tried running it. It hung at 98% for quit a while and then said Download fail. Error code: [0x500900000]

I'm gonna try to wipe with fastboot now. I'm update my results.
[Kyocera Zio M6000] xltrigger:
I wiped with fastboot and now I'm trying to update again. I thought I would post the commands I used and it might help those that aren't as good with the command line.

cd "C:\Program Files\Android\android-sdk\tools"
copy ..\platform-tools\AdbWinApi.dll .
fastboot -w
fastboot erase system
fastboot reboot

Then I booted in modem download mode and it told me it was updating. I pulled the battery after it was done and put it back in modem download mode again and I'm waiting for the update. I'll update again when finished.
[Kyocera Zio M6000] xltrigger:
I got "Download fail." again. Any other suggestions?
[Kyocera Zio M6000] Mattix724:
Erase boot aswell. Also do not remove the battery. Just turn the phone back on after it turns off
[Kyocera Zio M6000] xltrigger:
Trying it now. Couldn't figure out how to get Modem Download Mode without pulling the battery till I realized I could hold the volume keys while I typed fastboot reboot.
[Kyocera Zio M6000] xltrigger:
I was also thinking of trying to do fastboot update, but I'd need the update.zip. I tried extracting the MSI to see if it contained the update.zip but it doesn't. I'm assuming I could make one from the files in the MSI update installer, but I'm not sure how.
[Kyocera Zio M6000] Mattix724:
You would need to tear down the installer package for that. I've need to try that. If I find the images I will make a zip for the update.
[Kyocera Zio M6000] xltrigger:
I noticed it uses it's own adb included in the MSI. I tried killing adb before running the update and it's running and has been sitting at 98% a lot longer this time. 98% is where it always fails. If it helps the Status at the top of the app says TX LOADER.

I've got to figure something out here. I can't afford another phone right now. I really don't want a brick. ;(
[Kyocera Zio M6000] Mattix724:
If you can find files such as boot.img and system.img recovery.img and a couple others that are listed when your phone is in fastboot.
[Kyocera Zio M6000] Mattix724:
You might need to delete the recovery partition aswell as boot and system. Worst case scenario you end up erasing everything you see in fastboot then trying to update again.
[Kyocera Zio M6000] xltrigger:
How do I do that. Fastboot says at the begining now CANNOT READ BOOT IMAGE HEADER. That happened after I did fastboot erase boot.

In fastboot on the screen I see it has 9 memory areas.

fota_amss

boot

system

flex

recovery

userdata

fota_boot

cache

misc

I was thinking of clear others that I hadn't yet, but I'm not sure if I'll kill fastboot doing that and then really be bricked.
[Kyocera Zio M6000] Mattix724:
I would say your on the right track. When I originally bricked with 1.6 I did fastboot -w to wipe cache and data then deleted boot and deleted system and even tried to flash to the recovery and flashed some files I found to boot and system. When I first ran the updater in download mode I had to re-download the updater but it updated and when I first turned the phone on it went into recovery with the package background.
[Kyocera Zio M6000] xltrigger:
I tried erasing all nine with fastboot and it failed at 98% again.
[Kyocera Zio M6000] xltrigger:
That's options under Windows 7. I'm using XP Home. Obviously there is something going on with that causes it to hang at 98% I just don't know what. It has consistantly done that every time for me no matter what I try. I really want to try getting an update.zip and using fastboot update.
[Kyocera Zio M6000] Mattix724:
Uninstall an reinstall your zio drivers.
[Kyocera Zio M6000] xltrigger:
Uninstalled the drivers, rebooted, reinstalled, if I had a another Windows machine I would try it there. It's hanging at 98% now. Just waiting for it to time out and tell me update fail. I'm gonna try calling Kyocera in the morning and see if they'll help. If you get hold of a update.zip let me know.
[Kyocera Zio M6000] Tachi91:
For me it says Update Failed before it even started
[Kyocera Zio M6000] xltrigger:
Are you in modem download mode? If not it will fail. It will also fail instantly if the drivers aren't installed. If it fails instantly it's most likely it can't connect for reason or another. Mine connects. It just always fails at 98%.
[Kyocera Zio M6000] Tachi91:
I installed the drivers and update on another computer... But turns out it won't flash since its a Sprint Zio not a Cricket....

Is there a Sprint 2.2 update download?
[Kyocera Zio M6000] Mattix724:
I'm sorry but if you had read more on the forum first and paid attention to what service the update is for. There is nothing I can help you with.
[Kyocera Zio M6000] Tachi91:
OH... Don't get me wrong.. I read it and clearly understood that it was a cricket update and not the sprint one.. But since the OTA messed up the phone i thought hey... whats there to loose.. maybe it will work maybe it wont.. If it does then i got the phone working again and if not then its just like how sprint left it.. In the end nothing changed

No matter what drivers I try, in fastboot my Windows 7 64 bit comes up with an error "Device driver software was not successfully installed" Android 1.0 XFailed,. I can't even get to the option to start entering commands because the SDK tool won't even recognize it till I fix this issue. I don't know what to make of this. I've tried every link for USB drivers out there. They work great on a regular system to use the zio, but the ADB drivers that allow it to be seen in fastboot show up as Android 1.0 are not being utilized by my system and I got no idea why not. it's really got me annoyed because we wait forever for this update and then when it finally comes it just bricks my phone instead and all the repair options won't work without being able to command it in fastboot,..

Has anyone found a copy of the update.zip for 2.2 or 1.6 for Cricket? I still need to flash mine.
[Kyocera Zio M6000] entr0py24:
Thanks for the guide, I finally got mine working again after a few hours. I ran into several problems, but I'll just mention the ones that I think others are likely to encounter.

1. The USB drivers supplied in http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=11676244&postcount=210 are not universal and only work with one version of windows (not sure which, I'm only sure it isn't Win 7 64-bit). The CD that came with the phone has several drivers, it's better to find the correct ones there.

2. Step 5 is incorrect, you have to hold down both volume buttons AND the send button to start modem download mode.

3. The good news: you won't really lose everything if you only follow the steps in the walkthrough. All of my contacts, messages and installed apps are still there and working. I've yet to find anything that's missing. I believe the OP only lost everything because he tried a factory reset before finding this solution.
[Kyocera Zio M6000] Mattix724:

Leftover files from failed update?

Mattrix, thanks for that, actually it was one of your earlier posts that helped me when I got stuck on that part, I should have given you credit :)

I did run into another problem, the phone is now very low on storage space. I suspect that temporary installation files from the failed WiFi update are still there somewhere. Any idea which files those would be?

I do have root access.I'd rather just surgically get rid of them than wipe the phone.
[Kyocera Zio M6000] Mattix724:
I once ran into the same issue. You need to run the leaked corporate update package... we all know CricKet won't admit that it is official because it was never meant to get out of their hands.

Once you run the update you should be good to go. If it is still giving you low memory you can check the boot loop thread post 1 and follow the link to a post of mine for with help getting fastboot to work.

Also if you want I can upload the updater I used somewhere.

You saved my live good sir! (exaggerating) Thank you for giving a detailed instructional method on how to Unbrick my cell! The only part that I had to find for myself was the reinitializing contact with the service. I live 120 miles north of a cricket home network so I was gonna drive down to a corporate store to get them to get the correct PRL (so I thought). I had installed the PRL list and no dice.

@Sorry_8D and @Mattix724,

As someone that is an avid googler, and not much time to stop and smell the roses, I am going to do something I rarely ever do... I'd like to give a very sincere thank you.

I wasted a good 10 hours of time googling ( ironic ) to finally land on your page.

My day started off innocent enough, find a way to get my caller id to show when someone actually called me. From rooting, to try this and try that, I managed to corrupt some files pretty good.

At first this method you two provided did a great job of giving me a blue screen, 98% success, then the error mod as one of the other users.

I'd like to let others know, I was using Windows 7 x64, so I did one final fastboot session, loaded in modem download mode, networked the kyocera files over to an old XP Pro 32 SP2, 98% came again, long pause, and SUCCESS ! ( I seriously couldn't believe that one, looked like the Win 7 all over again ).

Anyway, thanks a ton.

I just used this guy's method, by getting into recovery mode and doing a user data wipe. It got my phone out of the boot loop, and it booted properly. And, it actually didn't erase all the stuff stored on the phone either - it just cleaned out my user settings, like wallpaper, icons, etc.

But, I had used MyBackup Pro before I tried putting new firmware on it, so I can use that to get everything back the way I had it now.
